I wanted to start this discussion to help find addresses of historic figures in history or present around the world. I am interested in WWII autographs, Astronauts, Scientists, anything history you know? I am always searching internet for historic figures to find addresses or if they still alive and such. I'm interested in what kinds of history autographs the other members have and addresses of some gotten and such things. Just a good history discussion brewing here.

Haven't got any myself but my History teacher has a signed Mein Kampf (Hitler) and Stalin (Leon Trotsky). Leon Trotsky was Stalin's rival for the leadership of the Soviet Union after the death of Lenin. Trotsky was eventually assassinated in 1940 in Mexico by a member of the secret police who buried the pick of an ice axe in his skull, he died of a brain injury.

I have quite a number of historic autographs. Lots of Watergate figures and a few presidents: Eisenhour, Nixon, Ford, Carter, and Reagan.

Those are all awesome signatures. I have all the Apollo Mission Signatures, along with some key players in flight command like Gene Kranz. I have a couple president autographs. I am very interested in WWII signatures right now. I would love to have the book signed like your teacher, wow is all i can say on that one. I'm trying to find addresses for WWII fighter aces alive now. Also trying to find the mailing or contact address for the Emperor of Japan or Royal Family. Anyone know some cool ideahs to write to or addresses of key people?

I sent one to Milvina Dean a month before she died! I sent money order and all to try to help out. Never heard back then seen she died, so I never got to get one back.

I have Miep Gies. She's a wonderful woman who helped protect Anne Frank's family during WWII.

Sorry to hear you never got a reply from Millvina.
She was such a sweet lady. Hopefully you'll be able to find one soon.
